Several months ago I upgraded my Citi card to a Citi Prestige. It has a ton of perks which suits our needs, and points have racked up.

I have had other credit cards which I have open and never use, and those I have had for a long time and use regularly, and I never considered upgrading until now. I have noticed that there are so many competitors with perks.

I am thinking that an Amex gold or Platinum will be the next card, and I will cancel the others having two or three cards to use. But I found the Luxury Card (Titanium, Black, Gold) during research.

It seems that those cards are useless points wise and is all about the Concierge service. Anyone had/have one? Thoughts?

I’ve had multiple when I used to churn points. They absolutely do have good point earning structures depending on where you spend your money.
Eating Out: Citi Prestige/Amex Gold
Airfare: Amex Platinum
Travel: Sapphire Reserve
The other “perks” that these cards bring to the table are utterly useless unless you travel a considerable amount.

Which card would you consider for churning large $$$$ monthly, not related to travel? Approaching $50K for 2021, 10 months to go.

The AMX Platinum from Schwab. Roll points over to your trading account.

We are getting there!

Far from an instanho. Likely a reason for her success.

Amex Platinum has a good promotion to rack up a good amount of points

Yes, but they don't always have the best offers available through particular cards. They are good for finding the right card for your needs

I have over 120,000 points with Citi already. The hotels and restaurants 3x and 5x points have been amazing.

Have both. Depends on your lifestyle.

Yeah, I've been killing it on the AMEX promotions lately with the Gold, Plat, and Biz cash. I also have the CSR and Ink+ to go along with a few other Chase cards. Racking up points and will fire like a rocket. Some folks like cash back and that's a good way to go. Like you said, depends on your lifestyle.

That will take some research but generally Citi offers 2% back on all purchases and chase unlimited does 1.5% but has other categories that pay between 3-5% like groceries. You can also use the reward points and get a better bang for your reward on travel through their program. I personally prefer chase but it really depends on what your greatest charges are.
